Work in progress - associating doc-types with Libre Office programs and icons. This is mainly for Lupu Libre, but it should work if you have Libre Office 3.5+ installed in any Puppy--but if you are not using Lupu Libre you will have to download and install the Integrate_LibreOffice pet also in order to setup the desktop icons.

Download and install the doc-type-LibO-set.pet *and then Menu -> Shutdown -> Restart X server* to associate the icons and run actions for Libre Office. Please suggest additional doc-types if you see one missing or that should be there.

To address the issue of SNS getting confused by the use of both eth1 and wlan0 for Broadcom wifi, I have compiled the two (5.60 & 5.100) proprietary drivers so that they use wlan0. So, switching among driver versions should no longer impact SNS. And it avoids user confusion about the name differences.

I have packaged the fix as one for integration into all puppies and the other for just the 2 driver modules, which are built for each kernel. Be sure to install both packages.

Although I do not know the reason, note that the 5.100 version is 81 bytes larger than peebee's compilation of it. Since I do not have a wifi card that takes the proprietary driver, I need feedback from any of you who can test with these packages. Besides the recompilations with the name change, the script that magically causes the alternate driver to be chosen was changed to look for the "failure" message which should now contain the wlan name. Cowboy and anyone else who needs the older driver: Please verify that the older driver is activated if the newer one fails. Then, of course, try SNS and check whether the connection is restored after reboot.

Thanks for all of your patience while we try to get this right.

UPDATE 4/8/2012: Peebee pointed out that the new drivers may not be "picked up" if they are installed after the "update" package. Oops, I did not move the "depmod" command to the driver package in its own pinstall script.. After download number 7 of the driver package, I re-uploaded it with the added script. So, the order of installation is no longer a factor.
If you are not seeing the drivers work as expected, please run:
depmod
in a console window, to get them recognized.

Description

puppy infrastructure firmware tarballs for Broadcom wifi.This can be installed into any lupu528 version, along with the driver package.

Thank you! Have noticed some other files have been associated and iconified, for example in root, show hidden, .fonts.conf is now a grey libre icon as are both .jwmrc and .jwmrc-previous. Is this intentional?

Neither Lucid Libre nor Google Chrome have jre by default. Libre Office wants java in order to do some things, but in this first version of Lupu Libre I didn't put it in, not sure if the functionality was worth the trouble.

Yes, I know about the use in Libre office for its database services. And there are other uses as well. As well as some Internet uses as well.

I am aware of Shino's offering too. But, I am torn between using PETs in the Live media since (since 2008) or to use the recent actions of SFSs to meet Puppy needs.

Even though it is not official, I have used 1.70-i586 with success on your 3HD. I was looking for anofficialtake of a cross-the-board Lucid version for JRE (JAVA).

Thanks

There will be updates to both Lucid Plus and there will be a new Lucid Plus Libre. Is there any chance of getting another version of 1cx with Lucid + Libre on it? That would make it easy for users to know exactly where they are.

Noticed an oddity, don't think it's a problem but...in the open-or-save dialog box, Lupu528.004 offered to open with PupZip(default) rather than PPM. Huh? I didn't think PupZip could handle .pets.

Edit: sure enough, if I tell it to open with PupZip, PupZip opens and creates a new .tar.gz file and fills it with "/tmp/audacious-3.2.2.pet". Not a problem for me as I routinely save .pets and install from HD, but a newbie might get confused (OK, I am confused too, but I'll live through it).

Why are .pets associated with PupZip rather than PPM, and more to the point, has this been corrected in 528.005? Or am I the only one with this anomaly? Right now I can't test on any other machines.

I think that might be the browser deciding which programs to open with, possibly based on the fact that pets are compressed. In Chrome, the pet just downloads, and then when I click the pet to install it, it opens with petget and installs correctly.

space bar. Works great if Audacious is open on screen, however, if I minimize it, then the pause feature does not work.. Can this be changed so it works when minimized?

Yes, I wouldn't be able to do anything about that--it is part of the way they wrote it. They do have the global hot keys, but in my experience that steals the space bar from whatever you really want it to do.

When I download a .pet with Opera, I save it to a directory, and then click it in ROX-filer.
I guess that's why I hadn't seen that problem.
